What Is on the Cheerleading Score Sheet?
High school cheer is usually judged on a 100-point scale with a single score per category, rather than the difficulty-and-execution split used in all-star scoring. The competition score sheet in this pack uses the standard categories below.
| Category | Max Points |
|---|---|
| Motions | 10 |
| Jumps | 10 |
| Standing & Running Tumbling | 10 |
| Stunts / Partner Work | 15 |
| Pyramids | 15 |
| Dance | 10 |
| Voice / Crowd Appeal | 10 |
| Synchronization | 10 |
| Overall Performance | 10 |
| Total | 100 |
Deductions for falls, out-of-bounds, or time and boundary violations come off the total, and the score sheet includes a line to note them. Exact categories and point values vary by state association and league, so adjust the sheet to match your own rules.
How to Use Each Sheet
Competition score sheet
Give each judge a copy. Score every category out of its maximum during the routine, note any deductions, and add for a total out of 100. Averaging several judges’ totals gives you a fair final placement.
Squad roster card
List every cheerleader with grade, position (base, flyer, back spot, tumbler, captain), uniform size, and an emergency contact for travel. There is space for captains and coaches at the bottom.
Tryout scorecard
Score each candidate on ten skills, from motions and jumps to tumbling, voice, and showmanship. Using the same scorecard for everyone keeps tryouts consistent and gives you a defensible result when you post the team.
